I've not been a very good blogger lately... but the last few weeks have been so incredibly busy with the Christmas rush in the shop, the pop-up shop in Paris, the trip to Berlin, my workshops at the design school etc. Tomorrow I'm flying to Sweden with the kids and I really can't wait to take a few days off and enjoy a family Christmas!This morning I finally took some time to read some of my favourite Scandinavian blogs, so here come some Christmas inspired pics that I fell for...PS. See you in a short while for the last Advent Calendar giveaway!

I mentioned earlier that I visited Berlin recently with this group of European bloggers that I'm part of. You can read more about us and what we do on our website here! I have lots of pictures from Berlin to show you, but I thought I'd start with our first design visit in the German capital: Fashion for home - a German home interior brand offering quality design furniture and accessories, with a strong commitment to environmental issues. They had prepared a delicious breakfast for us in their showroom and we had the pleasure of having a chat with one of the co-founders, Christoph Cordes, who gave us the full story behind the brand, founded in 2009.

Comme vous pouvez le constater, nous étions tous très concentrés... :) A gauche, moi, Emma et Desiree et le photographe (tu étais où Igor?), et à droite, Gerard, Allan and Riikka.We were all very focused as you can see... :) To the left me, Emma and Desiree with the photographer (where were you Igor?), and to the right, Gerard, Allan and Riikka.

One day late due to Christmas pop-up sale last weekend, here comes the 3rd giveaway in our Advent Calendar where each week until Christmas you can win a gift from La Maison d'Anna G's shop!What could be better than a calendar poster MMXIV from Playtype for a good start to the new year?
